RM Hubbert, HQFU at The Hug and Pint, 17/12/17

The small basement venue is packed as tonight’s support takes to the stage, Sarah J Stanley is an all round aficionado of the creative arts with music, filmmaking and art at her helm. Stanley’s most recent musical endeavor, HQFU delivers a punchy and melodic brand of electronica that is impossible not to dance along to.

Preview: Doune The Rabbit Hole (Friday)

With Doune the Rabbit Hole coming up next weekend we thought we’d give you a run down of some of the acts to check out, problem was we felt the line up so strong that we couldn’t limit it down to a certain number, here’s a wee day by day effort to keep you occupied:

West End Festival All Dayer at Oran Mor 18/6/17

It only comes around once a year but Oran Mor’s All Dayer is one of the West End Festival’s most coveted musical events, this year boasting 17 bands across three stages and offering something for everyone, from pounding Scottish rock to electronic acts and dad-friendly acoustic nostalgia (it is Father’s Day after all).

Sadly my experience this year is smattered with illness

T in the Park, 9/7/16
